What neighborhood has more murals than any other in Minneapolis?  What neighborhood has a world-class puppet and mask theater?  What neighborhood has its own literary magazine?  If you guessed Phillips, you would be right.  Our community has an abundance of artists and arts, and there are so many opportunities to exercise and develop your artistic skills.

The 8^th Annual Art Festival “A Taste of Phillips” will take place on October 24^th, but the art presented there will last for a long time.  The “main event” will take place at St. Paul”'s Lutheran Church, at 2742 15^th Ave. S., from 4-8 pm.  The church”'s galleries will feature artists from Phillips and surrounding communities, the 2015 Youth Photography Show, hands-on arts activities for children and adults, local musicians, a silent auction, open mica and delicious food.  Painters, sculptors, weavers, photographers or other artists who would like to exhibit their work should e-mail stpaulscreate@gmail.com or call 612-724-3862.
